Just seen this on another site .... worth doing ?? Anyway, saw this on the BFW site and thought it would be appropriate to post it here as it is on the subject of Cormorants and comes from the Avon Roach Project team, a worthy cause if ever there was one: Hi All, My colleague Trevor Harrop, and I co front the Avon Roach Project in Hampshire, which aims to reinstate a self-sustaining population of roach to the Avon and attempt to halt the decline that has persisted over the last three decades. As an accompaniment to this we have been compelled to help form a coalition of interested parties, in a cohesive drive to do something about the biggest threat to our roach and indeed all other inland fish species, a foreign invasive species of cormorant from mainland Europe, named (carbo sinensis) whose numbers now stand at some 23,000 wintering individuals. In January 2011 Defra announced a forthcoming review of the cormorant licensing system. So we are pleading for your help in lobbying, environment Minister, Richard Benyon, to have carbo sinensis placed on the General licence, providing river keepers and fishery owners, with an effective way of protecting their assets. You can help us by signing our on-line petition at http://www.gopetition.com/peti
